The Antwerp University Hospital (UZA) is Europe’s first hospital to gain Magnet® recognition. Magnet is the highest form of recognition for nursing care worldwide. To achieve it, a hospital must work to achieve demonstrable and continuous improvement in patient outcomes – measured by criteria such as pressure ulcers and fall prevention –, new knowledge and innovation and excellent professional practice. Being Magnet-recognised also means that a hospital is able to attract and retain nurses.
